The guard military system can bear part of the expenses in Tuntian, and in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there was even a surplus in addition to the food and salary of the guard.

And the recruitment of soldiers, the salary and silver all depend on the finance, professional soldiers.

Zhu Houxi opened his mouth to regain everyone's attention: "I understand that each recruiter needs to be paid three taels to five taels of silver a year. Since it is an elite soldier in Beijing, based on 150,000 people, it will cost 750,000 taels of silver a year. And the soldiers recruited by each side only add up to more than 400,000 taels of silver per year. However, within three years, the old army such as the East and West Offices will be reorganized this year, and a lot of money and food will be saved after the indiscriminate downs. 50,000 yuan will be selected next year, and 50,000 yuan will be selected the year after that, and the total additional expenditure of the Beijing camp in three years will only be 1.25 million taels. ”

"As for the income and expenses after three years, it is a more important issue. The edict on the throne mentions many new policies related to the Tian Fu and the salt class, how to implement them to increase revenue, and then how to arrange and eliminate unnecessary expenses more reasonably throughout the Ming Dynasty, which is the basis for ensuring that my capital has a strong enough elite army. ”

Zhu Houxi said firmly: "Everything will be difficult, I know. But the Beijing camp can't be abandoned forever, I made it clear in Xie Jian that the time has changed, and the border of the northern captives is bound to get bigger and bigger. If there is another large-scale southward invasion, will it only rely on the border town guards that have been eroded? It's not something you can't do, it's something you don't want to do. In my opinion, this thing must be done! ”

He opened his mouth and threw a heavier mountain over: "The guards are eroding, and the proportion of soldiers recruited in border towns is getting higher and higher, and the Qing and others must be mentally prepared to reach a total of two million taels of annual military salaries within twenty years, and I must have at least 400,000 elite soldiers who can fight." In order to ensure the future situation, it is time for the monarch and ministers to work together to gradually increase the annual income to eight million taels within ten years! ”

After saying this long paragraph, Zhang Heling Zhang Yanling breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: it didn't seem to be fighting their idea, but really planning for the long term.

Guo Xun and the others were dumbfounded when they heard it, and their hearts jumped violently.

In Beijing alone, 1.25 million taels will be divided within three years!

Within 20 years, the annual military salary will reach 2 million taels!

Your Majesty is thinking about border troubles, and there will be war in the future.

Some people think that the opportunity to make meritorious service has come, and some people think that they have more silver taels in their hands.

For a while, all the ministers and generals looked at the emperor eagerly—except for Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling. Oh no, they're relatives, not lords.

As for the gradual increase in the annual income of real silver to eight million taels within ten years, which made the scalp of the cabinet ministers and the head of the household secretary Yang Tan suddenly numb, they didn't care.

Zhu Houxi looked at Yang Ting and them.

This is the effect of Zhang Juzheng's reform as Lao Qin said.

In ten years, promoted by him, the emperor himself, it should be possible when the land annexation is not as outrageous as it was more than fifty years later, right?

If you don't make this preparation now, you will have to face the embarrassing situation of war in the future, and the border salary will soar to tens of millions.

I want to thank Houzhao My cousin just beat up the little prince, and the border trouble is not so tense for the time being, and although the Jurchens have begun to be arrogant and the Japanese have also appeared, they have finally not reached the time when it is extremely serious.

It's just that it's not far from that situation.

The ministers present were all dumbfounded.

Wang Qiong predicted that the emperor valued money very much, and even recommended Sun Jiao to be reinstated, but he didn't expect His Majesty's appetite to be so big.

Within ten years, the annual income of real silver will be doubled, and the corresponding 400,000 elite soldiers will naturally have food.

In the past hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, how has there been such a stage of rapid increase in income?

Since the beginning of the founding of the country, the tax grain has increased from a total of less than 20 million stone to more than 32.97 million stone in the 26th year of Hongwu, and the tax grain of the Ming Dynasty has only been maintained at about 30 million stone for more than 100 years.

Including various incomes, the annual income of real silver also stabilized at about 4 million taels.

It's stable! The reason why it rose rapidly at the beginning of the founding of the country was because the war ended and the world was stable.

Yang Tinghe was under a lot of pressure, and couldn't help muttering with a bitter face: "Then it's better to discuss how to earn eight million taels of real silver within ten years!" ”

A mouthful of grievances.

"That's something to be discussed later." Zhu Houxi said with a smile, "Chen Qing suggested that the Xuanfu should give one million taels and each side should give 500,000 taels, and the request to pay 200,000 taels from the Xuanfu side has already been approved." Why, Jingying can't leave a total of 1.25 million taels first? In the past three years, there is no need to pay for the capital camp again. ”

Many people in the ministers sighed: Lao Chen is sensible, but his wrists are too vegetable.

After all, it is only a matter of the future, and the proportion of recruits is not high at the moment, and this time it is limited to the Beijing camp.

The smoke from the fire scene of the Rijing Gate of the Qianqing Palace is still there, and it has not dispersed!

The emperor is now in a hurry to do a good job in Jingying, who is in favor of it? Who is against?

The lords voted unanimously in favor of it, though they did not dare to say much at all.

No one in the literati objected - don't be mad, please.

The property of the two criminals entered the final distribution discussion (argument) [quiet and harmonious state].

Gently discuss, do not provoke the Son of Heaven.

Is it just to ask for money to bring the fire incident lightly? This is really asking for money for "life"!

Can't afford to mess with.

In addition to the 1,250,000 taels prepared for the Beijing camp and a total of 1,800,000 taels for the renovation of the Rijing Gate, Qingning Palace, and Yangxin Palace, there are really too many people fighting for the remaining money, including the salary of the Ministry of War to Jiubian, the construction of the mausoleum of Emperor Zhengde by the Ministry of Industry, and the cost of renovating and renovating the tomb of the king.

Qingning Palace doesn't need to be moved, it just needs to be repaired, and it will be completed in two or three months, which doesn't cost much.

The Nissei Gate is just a door, and the half-south cover room that was burned down doesn't cost much.

The pattern of the Yangxin Palace has changed greatly, since there are functions such as the opening of the Yan Dynasty and the Son of Heaven's dormitory in the future, the internal furnishings can not be bad.

Fortunately, this is much less than what Yang Ting and them were worried about at the beginning. Originally, it was expected that the two palaces would probably spend a small half of the total of more than 10,000,000 taels of silver.

As for whether this total of 1,800,000 taels was enough, if it was not enough for the emperor to promise it, he would take the silver from the inner treasury.

Yang Tan patted his chest again, and if he didn't say enough, he would naturally list another expenditure from the household department.

The shoot is loud.

So Zhu Houxi made the decision and "fought" for the one he was most concerned about in advance, and reached 3.1 million taels.

Because Yang Tan said that, then simply list an additional budget of 50,000 taels.

It's only 50,000 taels of silver, give it to him, and let the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty go home with peace of mind as soon as possible.

Now that he has started to repair the palace, Zhu Houxi also feels very deeply about the troubles brought by Jiajing's palace repair concept to the ministers in "Daming Dynasty 1566".

If it weren't for the tens of millions of two families that had been copied from the house, if there was no fire in the Qianqing Palace, how could this matter be so happy?

He now has some idea of the purchasing power of a tael of silver, and at this time, a tael of silver is equivalent to about six or seven hundred in his memory.

This time, the renovation of the two palaces, one only slightly repaired, and the other only to change the layout in a way that saves as much money as possible, this new project to maintain the same materials and appearance in the Forbidden City will cost 780 million yuan.

In this way, the annual income of the Ming court is only two or three billion yuan a year, which is really a bit inferior.

Of course, a lot of wealth in this era is still based on physical goods, such as grain, such as cloth and silk, which cannot be purely counted as silver.

Zhu Houxi listened to their arguments, and occasionally thought about these things in his heart.

The ministers for the purpose of building the Heart Nourishing Hall and setting up the imperial study room are naturally impossible to see the big chess now.

In this way, Qian Ning and Jiang Bin have not yet decided what the final punishment will be, but their family property has been distributed.

In the end, Yang Ting and the others failed to get the idea of the secret vault, which was said to have more than four million taels of silver.

"Now that it has been decided, the strategy for resetting the three major battalions will be drawn up according to the recruitment style." Zhu Houxi's eyes looked at the ministers, "How to abolish the indiscriminate and reorganize the elite in the form of recruitment, this matter is jointly organized by the Ministry of War, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the Imperial Horse Supervisor." Guo Xun, can you handle this well? ”

"The minister will serve the dead!" Guo Xun was directly named, immediately left his seat and knelt down excitedly, and then changed his words, "No! I will be able to do it! ”

What could be more stimulating than positive feedback that has just been shown a few gestures and then reused? Guo Xun replied without hesitation.

Now that His Majesty's life is at stake, he is being treated as a humerus!

Can the humerus not be ridged?
